1999 Suzuki Esteem review from North America
"Very reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
Very reliable car.
Nice looking. It doesn't look it is nine years old.
Cheap in gas.
It burns much less than half of a quarter of oil every 5000 km.
The engine runs like new even though it has 230000 km.
The transmission is very smooth.
I take the car to the garage every 6 months for a check. I do normal maintenance. The only extra was the alternator and cleaning some electrical connections. Nothing else.
For one or two people the car is big enough.
It is the best car I have ever had.
